How to choose this snap hook
Choose the large 16x40mm flat-tail swivel hook when your shoulder strap or bag handle needs a wider connector with a flat strap end. Choose the trumpet 12x38mm style when a slimmer tapered profile is needed for lightweight crossbody bags and narrow straps.
Before ordering
Measure the finished strap width, the flat-tail opening, and the ring or loop that the hook will clip onto. The swivel should rotate freely after attachment so the strap does not twist during everyday use. If the strap is thick or padded, confirm that the tail area can hold the folded strap without bunching.
For replacement hardware, compare hook length, tail width, swivel clearance, gate opening, finish, and whether the old hooks were installed as a matched pair. For production, order pairs in the same finish batch to keep both strap ends consistent.
